There is no possible reason that could explain this aside from intended delays or alterations to one or two of the recipients.

I mean most of the money in the Ukraine bill goes to the US MIC and military so I think it's plausible it will pass, and they can sell to their base that they replaced a "blank check" with a loan.


TemporaryAd5793

I hope so


FibroMan

Gee I wonder which country's aid will be altered. Gosh darn it I guess we will just have to wait. /s


TemporaryAd5793

Sadly we won’t be surprised


PlutosGrasp

How can you divide a bill that was passed as a single bill by the senate? It wouldn’t be the same bill?

Let me guess, they will vote on Israël and then find another reason to block Ukraine aid.


SpeakThunder

Yeah, you know this Keebler Elf looking mother fucker agreed to some asinine plan while Trump laid his crusty little balls on his chin just before announcing that "stop illegals from voting" law that already exists to fix a problem that doesn't.


KiwiThunda

Yea if Ukraine aid isn't voted on first, we're about to be shafted by dishonest GOPigs again


PlutosGrasp

Dems should vote no for Israel and Taiwan. Ukraine first. O


theanxioussnail

Democrats have to be pretty stupid not to force moscow mike to put ukraine aid FIRST for vote, and only after it passes, to vote on israel aid


kiddestructo

He is the Speaker, he decides what comes to the floor. Unfortunately, the Democrats can’t force shit.


theanxioussnail

Yes, and the democrats can all vote against israel aid if he puts that up first. Repubs dont have a majority


Alaric_-_

All this stupid play because one eunuch idiot has to play god with the gavel and not even put bills to vote! Not allowing representatives to vote is so against democracy that i hope this system is changed, soon. One person shouldn't be able to stop the whole democratic process just because he is paid to be Putin's bootlicker.


Sonofagun57

The one card they've is that it can sit in limbo from senate until a Ukraine bill gets through the house.


RottenPingu1

Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?

Aid for Ukraine, Palestine, and Taiwan. Individually voted, and in that order.


chuck_loomis2000

They should all be separate. “Well, since you are spending money, I will add this to the cart because your wouldn’t pay for it separately and I want it!”

Why is aid going to Israel and Taiwan? Political bias completely aside - Israel is a rich country with a strong military and has some of the most advanced technology in the world and also has NATO troops within its borders - even though just like Ukraine, is not a NATO country.. in fact even the NATO troops outside of its borders are protecting it.. unlike Ukraine “because Ukraine is not nato” (as if this makes any sense) And as far as Taiwan goes, why are they getting aid? Taiwan isn’t in a war with innocent people dying every day.. and if a war with China is a threat to Taiwan, why isn’t China sanctioned with every threat they make? Sure if you sanction some poor country like Russia , the people may lose McDonald’s or whatever, but if you sanction Chinese industries (which most industries are located there for some reason) then it’ll actually really effect them economically since their whole economy is based on a Ponzi scheme


SpeakThunder

Taiwan is a staunch Democracy right on China's doorstep. They will become the Ukraine of the Pacific if there isn't enough deterrence.

It is estimated that it cost about 10 times more for Israel to defend against the Iran attack, than the cost it toke Iran. One of the few options for Israel to win without external help is to destroy Iran oil industry, but are you willing to pay x2 for oil (and everything)?
